Going through life with dark skin can be somewhat "challenging" at times. Add long hair, tattoos and earrings and it can get even more "challenging."
Back in the day, I've been told that I look like a "hood."
I've always made sure that I followed the law when it came to such things as the legality of my pocket knife.
I've been stopped, searched and handcuffed under suspicion of being a drug trafficker and released because I was extremely cooperative and completely legal.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that when we moved to West Virginia, I checked the concealed carry laws and pocket knife restrictions.
Back then you could own a switchblade, assisted opening knife or a gravity knife of any length but could only legally conceal carry a knife with a blade 3.5 inches or under that wasn't a switchblade, assisted opening knife or a gravity knife.
Today, I picked up my renewed West Virginia concealed carry permit and while at the Sheriffs office, I asked about any pocket knife restrictions and was told that in West Virginia, there are no restrictions and you can carry any kind of knife that you can fit in your pocket.
Last time I was at a gun and knife show, I picket up a cool little switchblade.
I'm planning on going to another gun and knife show later this month and I may pick up the biggest switchblade that I can fit in my pocket.
Just because I can.
